śrīmārkaṇḍeya uvāca:
bhīmeśvaraṃ tato gacchet sarvapāpakṣayaṃkaram /
sevitaṃ ṛṣisaṅghaiśca bhīmavratadharaiḥ śubhaiḥ
tatra tīrthe tu yaḥ snātvā sopavāso jitendriyaḥ /
japed ekākṣaraṃ mantramūrdhvabāhurdivākare
tasya janmārjitaṃ pāpaṃ tatkṣaṇādeva naśyati /
saptajanmārjitaṃ pāpaṃ gāyatryā naśyate dhruvam
daśabhir janmabhir jātaṃ śatena tu purā kṛtam /
sahasreṇa trijanmotthaṃ gāyatrī hanti kilbiṣam
vaidikaṃ laukikaṃ vāpi jāpyaṃ japtaṃ nareśvara /
tatkṣaṇād dahate sarvaṃ tṛṇaṃ tu jvalano yathā
na devabalamāśritya kadācit pāpam ācaret /
ajñānān naśyate kṣipraṃ nottaraṃ tu kadācana
tatra tīrthe tu yo dānaṃ śaktim āśritya cācaret /
tadakṣayyaphalaṃ sarvaṃ jāyate pāṇḍunandana
